00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: listening to this four years down the road. I don't know.

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: Today is March thirty one, twenty twenty two, last day

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: of March. Yeah, I wanted Gregor's birthday, so Twitter tells

Speaker 1: me who Mamma Gregor? Every one can be Oh, okay, sure, sure, happy, happy,

11
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: happy birthday. Hello to our show. I'm sure that would

12
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: give him some major points if he was listening to

13
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: a feminist centric show out of nowhere. Still, so we'll

14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: see now that's out. Yeah, that's just casting that out.

15
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: And today we were overdue in celebrating the women of

16
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: the Paralympics before we start, and we are going to

17
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: jump into it. And I do have a question for you,

18
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: because we love these questions. Are you currently in any

19
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: type of team sport activity? Not currently I had a

20
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: brief dalliance with volleyball. Okay, A couple of years ago.

21
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's probably more than a couple of years

22
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: ago now because COVID feels like a player. But like

23
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: I say, four years ago, I was on a it's

24
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: kind of a substitute player for a volleyball team, and

25
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: that was fun. And then I played kickball for a

26
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: minute even longer ago, kind of college years. Uh, and

27
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: I think that's it. I guess I played cricket for

28
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: a minute when I was in Australia. I played cricket. Okay,

29
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: did you play in high school? Uh? I played, not really.

30
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: I was really self conscious about my body in high school,

31
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: but I did play. I played soccer with my friends,

32
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: but not on a team. And I played basketball with

33
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 1: my friends, but not on a team. Okay, okay, if

34
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: you could be or if you had to be in

35
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: a team activity, team sport activity, what would you do?

36
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: Good question? I forgot to mention I played tennis for

37
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: a long time. I did play tennis. I love tennis,

38
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: so would probably be tennis or volleyball, Beau, I do.

39
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: I really love volleyball, but I haven't played it in

40
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: so long, so I'm kind of like, I wonder if

41
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: I still have that same when was the last time

42
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: you play tennis. So I don't think I knew that

43
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: about you. Oh. I love tennis. I played it throughout

44
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: high school, throughout college, and then for a while I

45
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: played it pretty off and on with a friend of

46
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: ours Chandler, and another friend of mine Katie Gosh, when

47
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: was that twenty It's been okay. I still have my

48
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: racket and my ball though in case. Yeah, so that

49
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: is one of the sports I think I told I

50
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: think we did talk about this before, because that was

51
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: one of the sports that my crush at the time

52
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: trying to teach me how to play. But I was

53
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: so bad that he just put down his racket and

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: walked away from me. The word I mean, it was bad.

55
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: I kept hitting them out of the damn fence, which

56
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: is like twelve ft high, and you're like, how, because

57
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm that good. We used to have what we called

58
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: ford court tennis. As long as the ball was bouncing,

59
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: you could still play it um and it was the

60
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: best workout you could get because you you know, though,

61
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: I really wish I could play it like the TV

62
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: version where you're not actually playing and they just put

63
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: the like c G I the ball in there, so

64
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: you look cool. That's what I need to do it.

65
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: Can you do this for me? No? Okay, yeah, I

66
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: actually had don't didn't participate in many sports either. I

67
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: did do cheerleading and I considered that a sport. And

68
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: I will fight you. We will fight because I was

69
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: definitely the base or the person on the bottom throwing

70
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: people up. People. I got injured, people got injured all

71
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: the time we competed. We weren't great. I could barely

72
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: get off the ground, my like five ft four self

73
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: could not get off the ground very high. But I

74
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: sure did try, did try. Um. I did have to

75
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: stop after a while because I had to work to

76
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: get money to my car and such. But it was

77
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: really fun and I do miss that. I also played

78
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: because we have to do. When I was in d

79
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: j J, we would do the office or like state

80
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: county championships, and we played kickball. I was not good.

81
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's like I could kick the ball pretty well.

82
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: I am not a fast runner. Could I steadily run? Yes?

83
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: But am I good? No, you know it's fine, it's fine.

84
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: I am who I am. I have other talents. I'm

85
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: sure you definitely do. But I really wish like the

86
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: thing that I wish I could have played is a

87
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: soccer because I really think of like, well, I'm not

88
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: very fast, but I have I did at one point

89
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: like I could probably block this ball. I feel like

90
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: I can do this. But we didn't have the soccer team.

91
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: La J Georgia had very few sports. It was baseball, softball, football,

92
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: basketball in the story, so it was very very very little.

93
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: They did have wrestling and wrestling. Of course they had

94
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: wrestling oddly enough. But yeah, so I didn't get to

95
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: do much. Also didn't get do much many sports because

96
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: it was expensive. And that's a whole different conversation which

97
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: probably should have with this about Olympics as well, who

98
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: is afforded what? But yes, today we're not going to

99
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: talk about that down or kind of conversation. No, we're

100
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: going to celebrate some of the women in the Paralympics.

101
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: And please know we researched a lot to get these

102
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: names and get at this moment to celebrate, but it

103
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: was really difficult to get outside the US centric conversations

104
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: and our articles. So for those of our international listeners,

105
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: if you would like to send us some things, if

106
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: you're for missing people from here, please do We love

107
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: that we need that and I need your help. We

108
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: need your help because again my Google really thinks that

109
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: all I care about is us, and that's not true. Yeah,

110
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: I want to know what's going around the world. Yes, yes,

111
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: but anyway, so please help us out. But yes, we're

112
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: gonna talk about this amazing women today, But first we

113
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: didn't want to talk about the fact that the two

114
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: Paralympics in Beijing actually hit a marker for highest women

115
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: athletes participating ever, with a hundred and thirty eight women

116
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: competing versus the hundred thirty three that competed in at

117
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: peong Chang. And by the way, though there is over

118
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: like five hundred and seventy athletes that participated, so even

119
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: though that's the highest number for women, that's still a

120
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: low number. Yeah, to step with that out there. And

121
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: though there were three less delegations that competed, there were

122
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: a total of seventy eight medal events, thirty nine of

123
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: them for men, thirty five for women, and four mixed events.

124
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: So pretty good, pretty good chances, um and just f

125
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: y I. China, the US, and Canada had the most

126
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: women competing this year. Also, several countries had zero women competing.

127
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: I will say there was a two countries I think

128
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: that had zero men, so you know, some of them

129
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: only had one athlete coming through. But if you want

130
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: to go look at those numbers, you can. But overall,

131
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: hey is an improvement, right, Yeah, It's still a place ago,

132
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: but it is an improvement. Um. So yes, let's talk

133
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: about some of these amazing athletes. Starting with Tuxana Masters,

134
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: a Ukrainian board American athlete, started as a rower at

135
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: the age of thirteen and one bronze in the twelve Paralympics,

136
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: but moved on to cycling, winning two gold medals in Tokyo.

137
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: But in the Paralympics, Masters has become one of the

138
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: most decorated US Winter Paralympians today. Um Masters has won

139
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: several medals and all her events, meaning seven medals from

140
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: seven events in one Paralympics, and on the last day

141
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: of the Paralympics on March thirteen, Masters led her mixed

142
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: gender cross country skiing team to gold. With her teammates

143
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: Sidney Peterson, Dan Canolson and Jake Adakoff. She has set

144
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: a new record for the most medals won by US

145
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: athlete at a single Games. She has won seventeen medals

146
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: overall in both summer and Winter Paralympic Games. So it's

147
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. Yeah. Um. And one of the things I

148
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: found interesting when she was talking about her athleticism is

149
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: like how she has changed to kind of grow with

150
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: our body essentially, so she loves cycling. But moved on

151
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: and talking about how very different, even though you would

152
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: you might not think so, how very different the two

153
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: events were so very big, huge powerhouse. Go ahead, Oxana

154
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: and do your thing. And let's talk about the women

155
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: of Ukraine who have been racking up some wins as well.

156
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: Ukraine was able to get the second highest medal count

157
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: in the Paralympics, with a total of twenty nine medals,

158
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: behind China, who got the most, and the athletes Erana Bouie,

159
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: Alexandra kanaan Nova and Ludmila Leashinko have been a big

160
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: part in adding to that medal count, including winning at

161
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: least three medals in women's middle dista standing and Booie

162
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: and Kanaova picked up medals for other standings as well.

163
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: So they're killing it out there. And as the war

164
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: in Ukraine continues, the victors couldn't deny the conflict of emotions.

165
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: Booie told one news outlet quote, we would like to

166
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: dedicate our results and medals to each and every Ukrainian

167
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: and all the soldiers in the Ukrainian Army who protect us.

168
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: With our performance, we represent the whole country and this

169
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: is our battle here. Um And I will say, I

170
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: think it's Buoie, maybe Bowie who It's like the day

171
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: that she won a gold medal, her village had been bombed.

172
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: Another one of the women had family members getting captured.

173
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of emotion and um justin f

174
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: y Russia was expelled from the Games, I believe, and

175
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: was not allowed to participate. But yeah, there's a lot

176
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: of a lot of mixed feelings for them, definitely. Yeah.

177
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: Moving on to legendary Slovakian skier Henrietta for Kopsava. Um

178
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: for Kopsava, who has been skiing since the age of seventeen,

179
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: really made a name for herself in these Olympics. Paralympics

180
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: makes her fourth competing um in the vision impaired classification

181
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: of alpine skiing. She was the most decorative athlete in

182
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: the Paralympics with four gold medals and one silver, but

183
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: she topped that off with winning two gold medals in

184
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: downhill and combined skiing, and not only is she a

185
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: Paralympic champion, but a seventeen time world champion. Okay. Then

186
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: we have Canadian athlete Natalie Wilkies, who was one of

187
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: the youngest medalists in Canada, which by the way, she

188
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: was also titled that in eighteen in the Pong Paralympics,

189
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: which she competed at the age of seventeen, and at

190
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: twenty one, she has risen to be one of the

191
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: most watched athletes in the Paralympics. With seven medals under

192
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: her belt. She is speeding ha ha to breaking records

193
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: in Canada and will continue to be a force as

194
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: she pushes onto the next competition. I see what you

195
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: did there, Yeah, yeah, I did um. Then we have

196
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: Chinese alpine skier gen Monk. China had the most medals,

197
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: as you said, one in Paralympics, and it's no doubt

198
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: that John was a big part of that, winning gold

199
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: and women's Giant slalom standing and women's Super g and

200
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: silvers and women's downhill as well as super combined. All

201
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: these names, like I'll admit a lot of them go

202
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: over my head, but they sound impressive, so yeah, yeah, um,

203
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: and she is only beginning. She began her competitive track

204
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: in twenty winning a gold and silver medal at the time,

205
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: and was able to win medals and para alpine skiing

206
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: at the Paralympics for China for the first time. Right,

207
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: um and just enough. Why apparently there was this whole

208
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: conversation because she kept changing up her hair to every

209
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: time she would go on to the podium, which I

210
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily want to highlight because I was like that,

211
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, but something for her that was important

212
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: and her esthetic was important and I love that. And

213
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: if you look at us, the pictures of our hair

214
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: does super cute, like all these cute little braids. Um,

215
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: but I love that. I was like, okay, you do

216
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: you she she's like all of her pictures are so happy.

217
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: So let's talk about Momocha Maraoka. So sorry if I

218
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: said this wrong, problems trying to get it, but she

219
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: is the Japanese parent alpine skier who began her career

220
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: inteen and yeah it continues to collecting medals. She was

221
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: able to grab three gold medals and one bronze during

222
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: the Beijing games, adding to her mini medals already, which

223
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: she actually in pyeong Chain one gold medal and four

224
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: other medals as well, So she's topping off all of

225
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: her medals and winnings with these Paralympics. Yeah, she has

226
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: been making headway for a long time and actually she

227
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: was a flag bearer at the Winter Paralympics Parade of

228
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: Nations in peong Chang. So yeah, people have been watching

229
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: her closely and expecting big things from her continually as

230
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: she competes more. Yes, So there's just just a few

231
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: of the names, y'all. Like I said, we would love

232
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,360

Speaker 1: we've had listeners right in about the Paralympics and we

235
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: love it. There's definitely a lot of conversation when it

236
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: comes to the Paralympics and making sure that we are

237
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: being inclusive but also being mindful that we're not being

00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: able listen to what they have done and what they're

239
